About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.
“Summer was absolutely amazing!!! My dog is very anxious and has pretty severe separation anxiety, but Summer gained her trust really quickly. She sent me consistent updates so I knew my girly was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask for her services again!”
“Randi stayed at our house for a week to housesit and petsit our 3 dogs and backyard birds. We don't often travel so it was an adjustment for us and for our pets but Randi was reliable, calm, and patient and had everything under control. She gave plenty of updates during the week so we weren't worried during our time away and we returned to a house that was clean and tidy, all of the plants were thriving and all pets were happy and healthy. If Randi is available to take care of our pets, we might try to travel again!”
“Sydney is awesome and exceeded expectations during her first-time pet sitting for my dog with separation anxiety, who was extremely comfortable with her from the moment she walked in. Sydney provided picture updates and kept great company with my dog in my absence. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. If you're on the hunt for a someone who genuinely cares, Sydney's your person. Can't wait to book her again!”

Zoey T.
“It’s truly a pleasure to write a reference for my friend Zoey. She is one of the most dependable, kind-hearted, and driven individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Whether she’s stepping up to help someone in need or throwing herself fully into a project, Zoey leads with both compassion and purpose. Her ability to balance empathy with accountability makes her someone that others naturally turn to and trust. Zoey brings a sense of calm and confidence into every space she enters. She’s a great listener, an even better problem solver, and consistently approaches challenges with a level-headed and thoughtful mindset. I've seen her stay composed under pressure, offer support without judgment, and find creative solutions to even the trickiest situations. What sets Zoey apart is her genuine nature and unwavering integrity. She doesn’t just talk about values—she lives them. She’s the kind of person who will show up early, stay late, and bring positive energy every step of the way. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a teammate, friend, or collaborator. I’m proud to know her and even prouder to recommend her wholeheartedly.”

Hayley U.
“Hayley Uffelman is outstanding at caring for animals--of all sizes! She lovingly references her dog, Tito, an horse, Finn, as two of the most important things in her life. She not only specializes in dog sitting, but also plant care and fish care. She was nothing but nice and caring, and even went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure all of our needs were met. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”
